“Comfortable and relaxing stay at the lovely picturesque Justa Cottage”
+We loved our stay at Justa Cottage, it was so comfy and the location in the centre of Shaldon was perfect. Sitting out on the terrace was great in the sunshine.
−The ladder up to the attic room is a little tricky but great fun for bigger kids

“A charming, bright cottage in a great location”
+It is a charming cottage, bright and full of character, and in a terrific location. It felt very homely and we found everything and anything that we needed. The two outdoor spaces were a big bonus. The host could not have been more helpful. I would definitely choose the house again if staying in Shaldon.
−The steep ladder stairs up to the bedroom suite on the top floor. Once there, the room is lovely and has its own bathroom, but you need to be agile. The difficult access for cars is a reflection of Shaldon, not the house itself. If going again, I would avail of the one-hour free parking on Fore St / Strand to unload and then park at the Ness Car Park (approx £7 a day)

“Beautiful cottage in a lovely seaside area.”
+Lovely cottage with lots of space. Great facilities and the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on! The balcony area was a lovely surprise and we spent most mornings sat out there enjoying a cup of tea. The host was great and kept me informed of timings etc. would absolutely stay here again.
−The only issue is there is no parking but that’s made clear in the booking. Some days were easier than others to find parking but it’s to be expected when there is no designated parking spots. Wasn’t a huge issue at all really.

“Lovely sea village stay”
+Lovely location and a nice property to stay in.
−Access is very tight, so had to park away from property to load in luggage etc, however this wasn’t the end of the world.

“Great location, fabulous quirky old cottage.”
+Fabulous location . Super clean bedding. Would book again. It was really close to beach of the estuary (good fun , clean & close to eating & drinking place, fab little fishing boats etc & Teignmouth view from the beach and all on a level 1-2 minute walk from the cottage. )Also in walking distance of beach to the sea up the hill and down through the tunnel. Near lovely village facilities - pubs, eating, bakery, butchers, general store. The little zoo is fabulous & imo worth the ££ to get in.& to support it. We parked in the short stay car park near the primary school which meant a nice level walk to the cottage of approx. 10 minutes. More parking in a huge park up the hill. All good.

“Unfortunately it did not meet expectations.”
+The location was perfect.
−The property was only moderately cleaned, there was an awful lot of clutter. There was food left in the freezer from a previous family and clothes had been left in a chest of drawers. One of the bunk beds was broken. A rail on the balcony area was not securely fixed so it rocked when pushed which made the area unsafe for children. The casing around a plug socket in the bunkbed room was broken. The details do not explain that a steep loft style ladder with no rail is used to access the second floor, this is only reported in reviews from guests.
